Modern, Statistical Methods and Signal Processing Tools of Analyzing the Evolution of the Morphology of Coastal Zone

Dear Colleagues,

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is preparing a Special Issue on modern statistical methods and signal processing tools applied to studies and analyses on morphological evolution of coastal systems. The issue will cover the following key groups of problems, influenced by climate change impacts: shoreline/seabed change, wave climates and hydrodynamic regimes, inundations by marine and estuarine floods, sea level rise. The studies will contain, but are not restricted to, wave parameters, coastal and estuarine currents, sediment transport, shoreline/seabed evolution trends, combined storm surge and sea level rise impacts, hurricanes (pathways, intensity, duration), etc. Papers covering a wide spectrum of spatial scales from small in situ experiments to very large scales of entire marine basins. Methods of processing of large data sets are preferred; they should include, but are not restricted to, different variants of principal component analysis (ordinary and complex PCA, extended EOF), ordinary and multi-channel singular spectrum analysis, canonical correlation analysis, principal interaction/oscillation patterns, and continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. Furthermore, traditional statistical tools, such as FFT, fit the scope of the issue. Of interest are also techniques of the assimilation of satellite data and the use of digital terrain models in coastal studies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
